Suicidal Thoughts therapists in Dundalk, Maryland MD
Dr. Bridget Kromrey
Psychologist, PsyD
I have worked with individuals across the lifespan who experience suicidal thoughts, self harm, and who have attempted suicide. I believe therapy is a unique space where we can explore these vulnerable thoughts and behaviors, while creating a space to promote safety, coping, and change. Suicidal thoughts can often leave individuals feeling more isolate and alone. My hope is through therapy, these experiences can feel less lonely.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LGPC
In addition to my person-centered approach to therapy, I am also intensively trained in comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to assist clients who are managing self-harm and suicidal ideation. Self-harm and suicidal ideation are behaviors that seek to resolve something that we view as a problem, and I use my eclectic skillset as a way to help clients problem solve differently and reconnect to the world in a way that enhances their quality of life and honors the nuances of who they are.

Shelby Willoughby
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
Drawing from my expertise in trauma-focused therapy, I approach the treatment of suicidal thoughts with compassion and understanding. Through trauma-focused techniques, I work with clients to process underlying trauma that may contribute to suicidal ideation and develop healthy coping mechanisms. Utilizing evidence-based interventions, I create a safe therapeutic environment where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions, build resilience, and find hope for a brighter future beyond suicidal ideation.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was one of the first therapies to treat highly suicidal individuals on an outpatient basis. Because DBT considers suicide as the solution, not the actual problem itself, DBT therapists are focused on identifying the actual problems in order to assist with different, tangible solutions. Not only that, but DBT therapists are able to speak frankly about death instead of tiptoeing around it, treating patients with respect rather than patronizing with whispery tones and “concerned” looks. Within DBT, no person is treated as “fragile” and though the situation may be serious, we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

Reaching the point of thinking of suicide can be a scary place to be. It is important to talk to someone about it, and to find someone who will help you explore your feelings and make a plan to keep yourself safe.
